Situated in the heart of San Jose, the apartment is on the upper floor of the house. Calle 17 is pedestrian only, no traffic to bother you.
The apartment has just been totally remodeled and offers two separate keyed bedrooms with their own bathrooms, one with double bed, the other one with twins, a living room, a kitchen and a patio. Independent entrance. Each bedroom is rented separately with its own bathroom.

The area is a pedestrian zone and very quiet at night.
It is an ideal situation to visit the centers of interest of San Jose on foot.
Buses are also within walking distance to many locations in the suburbs or outside of town.

The apartment is near the Corte Suprema, one block from the Museo Nacional and two blocks from the Jade Museum and the crafts and souvenirs market.
The Plaza de la Cultura, Museo del Oro, Teatro Nacional and the Cathedral are 10 minutes walk away. The Mercado Central 15 minutes.
Several restaurants and "sodas" are in the vicinity with choices of typical cuisine, international cuisine and even cafeterias and fast food.
Various services are also available nearby.

Sugey is a very good person and attentive to everything. She arranged for us to be picked up at the airport with a very professional service. We were given a tour of San Jose and indicated the places to go to do currency exchange, eating, walking etc. The place is very clean and comfortable and is very close to California Street where all the restaurants and bars are located, and located in a safe neighborhood. I highly recommend it. gracias :)

Vimaris2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Lovely spot very close to the centre, would recommend their airport pick up too! Comfy bed and fast internet, with a very friendly and helpful host

This was an excellent place to stay that was close to everything in downtown San Jose. I went to the Gold and Jade Museums, went shopping, found great restaurants, bars and clubs within walking distance.

John Michael2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

My stay was wonderful. We had some travel troubles and Sugey's sister was kind enough to wait for our arrival. The apartment is large, modern, comfortable and very clean. The location is central, making it a convenient stay in the city.

Sugey is an experienced host who just finished remodeling this place. She did a very nice job with a couple of comfortable living areas, Netflix, and hot showers. The bed was very comfortable. The location is very convenient, we walked everywhere, even to catch the train. Sugey was great about communicating with us; we enjoyed talking with her.

The place itself is gorgeous, tastefully decorated with lots of windows and a fantastic view. The hammocks were great - waking up to the sun shining onto you is awesome. Scott is fantastic, really helpful and knowledgeable with everything around San José and life in general. Wonderful place to stay - don't miss it!

Jonah2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Scott is an amazing host, made us feel right at home. Loved hearing his stories and travels and his insight into San José. He gave us a tour of San José that made us see a side of the city most tourists don't get to see. His apartment is very well located, close to the city center and Chinatown. I especially loved Scott's artworks that lined the walls. And his two adorable cats!

Scott is an artist with wonderful life, he will tell you all these things. Have to remind first, also as he mentioned on important position of profile . His place is really close to rail, so really quite noisy. That make me hesitate if I could say it's a good place, after all sleep is so important during journey. But Scott tell all the truth about it. He is a great painter and photographer, also a city walk guide, can show you secret beauty of San Jose . As I wish, In the coming future , Scott can move to a quite place, that can make tourists enjoy his tour , his photos and have a good sleep at the same time.

Two bedrooms with private bathroom & WC in a sunny apartment in one of the safest neighborhoods in town. Walking distance from good restaurants, bars & theaters. Parks nearby. Good compromise between privacy and permanent assistance and company if desired.
*The second bedroom is only available after the third guest.

In one of the most safe neighbourhoods of San José, this space will charm you with its east mountains view and its cozy decoration nand painted by the owner.
You´ll be sharing the apartment with me and I´ll be there in case you need anything, or just hang out a little bit.
The airbnb area is in a separate area of the appartment.

In the center of the cultural life of San Jose, Barrio Dent is within a walking distance from good restaurants and fun bars. Many cultural centers, theaters are also nearby. It`s also surrounded by lovely parks where to enjoy of sunny afternoons with a beer or a cup of coffee.

Private bedroom and bathroom adequate (no cold water at sink). Kitchen very basic, since host didn't arrive until after we had gone to bed on our second night, it took us awhile to find things, we never did find a lifter. We didn't have internet password until our second day. Most outlets are 2 prong. Not too far a walk to several museums. When host arrived after we had gone to bed, he was upset that we hadn't used placemats but we never even saw them nor were any house rules provided. He was also upset that we hadn't put the dishes we had washed away yet. When we woke up, shoes and coats were outside in the landing, iPad had been unplugged and moved before it was charged. I am sure things would have been different if he had been there when we arrived, but it didn't turn out that well.

Conforms to photos room! RAS, Jimmy is very nice, available to discuss and give us lots of advice and he left us our privacy. The house is a little hard to find, but just in front of a bus stop and in a very quiet place with lots of nice restaurants and bars, and above a supermarket.

Dinh-Long2016-01-11T00:00:00Z

Jimmy was nice. Location was good, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Not sure where the photos are from as the room, bathroom and kitchen didn't look at all like photos posted on Airbnb. The room was a bit stuffy with no fan and not much air flow through the small windows.

Brianna & George2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

Jimmy was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay (two separate weekends/check-ins). He was very sweet and helped us when we needed information on bus routes, restaurants, etc. The area was great - very close to everything. Within walking distance of lots of restaurants, nightlife, ATMs, and supermarkets. We felt comfortable staying here. Thanks Jimmy!

Sarah2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

Jimmy was not there during our stay but Sebastian was there to welcome us and help us settle in. He helped us figure out bus routes to our next destination and gave us directions to great bars and restaurants (that were only a few blocks away). The apartment is cozy but not too small and very charming. Our stay was brief but very enjoyable!

Danika2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Jimmy and his house are great! We feel lucky to have had a friend here, and a great room to call home also. It's clean, spacious, and well decorated. Conveniently located and in a safe neighborhood.

Jessie2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Awesome place to stay in San Jose! Close to town and restaurants, all in walking distance. I was with another female friend and we felt safe walking at night. Jimmy had excellent communication and gave us very detailed directions regarding how to get there, and the best method of transportation from the airport. He also talked to our driver to ensure we we at the correct spot. Accommodations were very clean, and he had basic amenities likes coffee and water for our morning. Would certainly recommend.

Amazing views from this modern, high rise apartment of the San Jose Valley. The owner is very punctual and responsive. The grounds are impeccably kept with good security in place. Immediately felt at home here... book a stay, you will not regret it!

We had a great stay at a great place. The views of the city were awesome and the apartment was perfection. Raul was great. He met us at the apartment to explain things and make us feel welcome. He was very nice and helpful. We hope to stay here again on our next visit in San Jose.

Raúl's apartment is awesome! Super clean and has all the amenities you will need. WiFi was excellent, two large screen TVs and there is everything to cook with. The 24 hour security was another reason that I chose this location. The view is truly amazing and the pool and exercise facilities are terrific. Even though my flight was delayed, Raúl was there to meet me and make me feel at home. Next time I go to San Jose, I'll definitely look to see if his apartment is available!

Sam2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

This apartment building is brand new and right at the center of the most charming neighborhoods San Jose has to offer. The bed was extremely comfortable, the facilities impeccable, and the location perfect. We loved it and Raul was right on time for our arrival and departure.

This modern high rise apartment has all your modern conveniences including a very nice pool and gym. It is centrally located beside the hipster area of barrio escalante where you will find the trendiest bars, cafes and restaurants. The room is a good size with a nice double bed and the wifi is decent quality. The shower is nice and powerful with plenty of hot water which can be hard to find in Costa Rica. The hosts both work in the tourism industry and so you won't be short of recommendations for things to do. They speak perfect English if your Spanish is not up to scratch. You can walk into the city centre or hop on one of the super cheap buses to the centre or out to San Pedro. Uber is cheap here and so it is relatively easy to get about anywhere in the city. This is a nice safe area of the city and I can highly recommend staying here.

Unity is a conscious community located in San Pedro, the alternative & artsy neighbourhood of San Jose. We're a group of people living together (foreigners & ticos) helping each other to grow on the spiritual path and trying to be as self-sufficient as possible in an urban environment. We have a big garden where we grow our own veggies and also a yoga room where we organise events, give yoga classes, conferences...

Unity is a relatively new place, we started the project 6 months ago. It starts to look pretty good but there is still much to do and we didn't finish entirely the renovations. That's why you will find some building materials on the entrance waiting for the second round of renovations when we'll have gathered enough money. But at least round 1 (the inside of the house) is 95% finished as we focused on this area first.

San Pedro is very lively neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and bars only 5 min away (walking)... It has a hip and fun vibe with a large variety of cheap yet still delicious places to eat in the area because of the large student population. If you're into nightlife, there are a lot of bars and discos to choose from. The conscious minded one will love the many vegetarians restaurants and yoga studios only a few minutes walking form the house.
San Pedro also boats the best street art of Costa Rica.

This place is unique and spectacular. Char and her crew are incredibly generous, kind and welcoming. They made us feel at home from the minute we stepped in the door. The place is spacious, clean, and in one of the hippest neighborhoods in San Jose, close to cool bars, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Will definitely stay again.

Cha is an amazing host. I have traveled around 11 countries (America/Europe) and this has been the most incredible experience. All the people that live on this place is so friendly and make you laugh for everything. Also, my gf had a medical situation to get over the country so Cha help us a lot to fix the thing with the price and the reservation. If you are looking for a place to stay and that it’s close to almost everything from the capital, let me tell you this is the place. Hope you live the same or even a better experience than mine. See ya!

Heriberto's place is an ideal place for staying near San José. I really liked my stay at Heriberto's place. The neighbourhood (Curridabat) is quite calm and safe, very easy to commute to the centre of SJ or other various locations. A block from the train station, and a few blocks from bus stops, malls and restaurants, (as well as a modest fare on ridesharing services from SJ centre), it is quite accesible and easy to either take a walk or start a trip. Heriberto and his family are kind hosts, always willing to help and talk. The apartment is quite nice, separated from the rest of the house by a yard, it feels quite private. The bed is really confortable and I think could easily fit a couple. I surely recommend this place for your stay; a nice space where you can rest before or after roaming Costa Rica's nature or an ideal base for getting to know San José. -------- Definitivamente recomiendo el apto. de Heriberto, un lugar ideal para descansar en San José.

This cozy and minimalistic studio apartment is very centrally located, right in between of the main universities neighborhood in San Pedro. Everything you may need you can find it within walking distance; whether you have to buy groceries at the supermarket, or enjoy a cold beer at one of the many bars and restaurants nearby. This is a very secure and private property where you'll feel safe and comfortable. We live on the same property, so you can reach out anytime, our door is always opened!

This is a cozy and nice size studio apartment. It has all the amenities you will need to have a comfortable stay, whether it is just for a couple of days or for a long one. There is a full-size bed, cable TV, wireless internet access, a sofa bed that can host an additional guest. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to cook your own food, and there are plenty of supermarkets nearby if you need to buy groceries. It has its own private laundry room where there is also an opened closet for storage and to hang your clothes. We currently don't have a dryer available, but we provide you a hanger to dry your clothes taking advantage of the warm weather in San José. If you are in a hurry to get them dried, just let us know and we will let you use the dryer we have inside of our house.

This is a very centric but yet quiet neighbourhood, right in between and walking distance from many important universities: UCR, ULatina, Fidelitas, UACA. You will be able to find anything you may need during your stay pretty much within walking distance or a short drive, whether you are looking to eat good food or just buy groceries to cook your own. San Pedro is known for having the best nightlife in the city, so you will be a short drive from some of the best bars and restaurants in town.

This was my first trip to Costa Rica and Juan Pablo was the perfect host. The property is exactly as described and I can't underscore enough how much the gate at the road adds to a sense of safety and privacy. It's not a bad neighborhood but gate made me feel no worries at all to stare at stars and enjoy the outdoors at all hours. Juan is also extremely knowledgeable and offered some great suggestions for my specific interests on things to do in CR.

Peter2017-03-08T00:00:00Z

My partner and I stayed a second time at Juan's and Carolina's place, because it was so nice being there already the first time when we started our tour through Costa Rica (see our mid December 2016 rating). So, we chose their place again at the end of our vacation. Juan and Carolina are the best hosts we ever had. They are nice and relaxed people, who make you feel very welcome. Communication and their helpfulness were great. Again, in the appartment everything was clean, nicely arranged and without any issues. We highly recommend this place and host to everyone who plans a trip to San José!!

So that people cuter! The accommodation was more than we expected! Space is very pretty, has a kitchenette and has all the services that helped us a lot to economize on meals! Indeed were more than happy, highly recommended!

Piola2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

Would highly recommend Juan Pablo's place. The apartment is the perfect size and is a great location. In a small neighborhood but also easy to get around. The other thing is Juan Pablo was a great host. He was super easy to get a hold of, provided great advice and suggestions for places (including a great restaurant with a gorgeous view of San Jose for our last night), and was willing to go the extra mile to help (looked up how we could make dinner reservations/researched info on a bike tour). Staying here really made our time in San Jose a nice ending to our trip

Artist's atelier & condo over the University district, Safe neighborhood walk everywhere, public/private transportation literally few steps away. A cozy, very relaxed atmosphere place; close to every interesting/main active area in San José.

Very easygoing atmosphere, great 24/7 security, so easy to walk around the neighborhood. Close to everything interesting/happening in San José. This is the main University district, all main Colleges Institutions on walking distances. Beautiful University of Costa Rica JUST one block away. Fully equipped kitchen, laundering room, maid service available, nice open air area, private room with all the amenities to make you feel home. Private equipped toilet area. Shared shower. The Whole condo is also available for rent. Self-service breakfast (Delicious Costarican Coffee and cookies always available).

The best area in San Pedro. We are located on a very busy area however we are "hidden" from the mainstream activities on a very quite area just steps away from beautiful gardens, Universities, restaurants, convenient stores, bars, shooping malls, gyms, swimming pools, open air sports area museums; and we are just 10 minutes away from San José downtown. Everything is Walking distance.

Very clean house, artistic room. Jonas was super friendly and helpful in assisting with figuring out buses, travel, etc. Just very accommodating in general. Very close to bus stop, but note that it is 30 minutes by bus to get to downtown SJ.

I wish there was a way to give Jonas 10 stars. My mother was sick and I flew her down to San Juan for medical care. Jonas was Extremely helpful and went above and Beyond for someone he didn't know. He's a great hearted person who I wish nothing but the best for in life. If you're looking for somewhere to stay that is safe, affordable, Very clean, central to everything, and with a host that will treat you with the upmost respect...then you'd be WASTING your money and time going anywhere else in SJ.

Carlos 2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

Jonas was unbelievably welcoming and personable from the very start of my reservation. I let him know my situation and he not only immediately reached for understanding and connection, but he was very down to earth about it, and allowed me to feel like I am coming to a nice, cozy place. I simply needed a comfortable place to rest in at night as I spent most of my time with my family during the day. This was my first stay in Costa Rica, so it was important for me to feel at ease. Upon meeting Jonas, he was warm, kind, and approachable. He showed me his place, which was spacious, very clean, and close to shops and happenings. He also happened to be the owner of a beautiful Himalayan cat named Balthazar, who instantly warmed up to me with his kind demeanor, and made my stay even more pleasant. The apartment was exactly as described. The bed was comfy, my room cozy and clean, the bathroom was clean and well maintained, and I also had a washer at my disposal, along with a great kitchen. It was all very comfortable and I felt at home. For the price, I got a better experience than some 4 star hotels. I got a chance to get to know Jonas a bit as well, and he is a brilliant, smart guy, who care about the quality of my stay at every step. I left my room kind of a mess my first night. I came home, and everything was cleaned and cozy. I wasn't expecting that at all. It felt like a professional hotel experience, with a great host and an awesome location. I highly recommend Jonas' place to everybody. He will go above and beyond for you.

It was my first time with airbnb, and really exceeded my expectations. The apartment is very nice, very organized and very well decorated; The bathroom is very spacious and the room as well. As for the location is not as close to downtown but in uber I mobilized all the time. Alberto is very good host, very friendly. I fully recommend this place and definitely would stay there.

Augusto2017-05-02T00:00:00Z

First time using AIRBNB and was a bit reluctant at first. This went out the window upon meeting Alberto who went out of his way to make me feel welcome in his place. I felt totally at home and aside from that he was extremely knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica. Offered to pick me up downtown so I would not get lost and even helped me find my next location, unbelievable value for what hes asking (price wise) bus stop to center of downtown is a 3 miunte walk from his gated community. Would reccomend anyone who wants to know what PURA VIDA (a Costa Rican Saying) to stay here!

Luna's2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Communication to coordinate everything was excellent! The department is divine! I recommend staying here!

This is a nice área, with all services around, residential área, rounded by mountains of the central valley. Buses one block near to go downtown that is 15 minuts by bus.
Close restaurants, farmacies, clinics, doctors
Private tours available with me

The apartment has a separate entrance, this ground floor. Comprising dining room, kitchenette, bathroom with tub, hot water, modern.
Guests counted with cable service and wireless internet, in addition to water and electricity services complete.
The neighborhood is a very quiet place, surrounded by mountains, close to shops, restaurants and malls. Cinemas, banks, pharmacies, clinics. It has less than 5 blocks the Spanish Language Institute.
We have about several public transportation options. Two blocks have PERIFERICA RUTA, that goes around the greater metropolitan area. By this they can use the SAN FRANCISCO LA CABAÑA DOS RIOS, west, all bus lines that travel routes to San Jose Desamparados.
My accommodation is special by the warmth of the neighborhood and good taste with which it was equipped. It's part of the big house yet completely independent.
We can also offer advice on destinations that can take advantage of being in our city and beyondciudad y fuera de ella

this place was not good..... he had all the windows open upon arrival, and we found out why, the place stunk of mildew by the next morning.... that was night 1... we should have left. Night 2, we were awaken at like 2 am by an INFESTATION of mosquitos INSIDE the bedroom, they attacked my wife (who is allergic) and there were so many, that if you stood still, the buzzing was INSANE! you could clap and kill 5-10. we left as soon as the sun came up and we found a new place. Was a very bad experience. As we left, I opened up under the kitchen sink looking for a trash bag, and found out why.... there is a nasty huge leak under there.

I'm a contemporary dancer and yoga teacher, my home is colorful and vibrant, in a beautiful bohemian neighborhood between San José and San Pedro, 15 min walking distance from downtown, close to art & cultural centers and teathers, lots of nice cafes, bars, art galleries and restaurants.

Barrio Escalante is a great neighborhood, full of cafes, bars & restaurants for people all ages, supermarkets very close by, organic market every saturday just a few blocks from home, overall a vibrant and renovated place to live.

Paula is a kind and welcoming host. Here home is beautiful, with a lot of well placed and interesting details. At her place you feel like you are at home. You are allowed to use the kitchen, washer and so on and you can also join the yoga classes if you feel like doing something great for your body and mind. The neighborhood is perfect, since it's pretty quiet, but you have all the trendy bars and restaurants in walking distance! I enjoyed my stay at Paulas home and would recommend it to any of my friends!

Paula was awesome! She is very nice and kind! The place has a great location!

Although I didn't get the chance to meet Paula personally, our 4-day stay at her apartment was nothing short of amazing! I had my sister and friend come visit from the states and she made the proper accommodations for the three of us to stay 2 of the 4 nights - I was very appreciative of that! Barrio Escalante is also one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Jose, close to everything you may need from a super market to an artisanal beer pub just a few blocks away. The room itself is very, very comfortable - I was even able to work from there when I needed to! It has a view of the city from the bedroom which I found nice and the natural lighting give it a comfy/natural feel. There is no door at the foot of the steps, so privacy didn't feel so great at times when the yoga classes were going on - it wasn't a big deal at all (I'm personally a social butterfly) but it may pose to be one for others needing that privacy aspect. Overall, I felt great staying at Paula's home, it's a shame we didn't meet, but I would definitely book again with her if I have to stay in San Jose again! Muchas gracias Paula y Pura Vida!

From the moment Paula opened the door and have me a huge welcome hug, she treated me like a long-time friend. I highly recommend staying with Paula, especially if it's one of your first few times in San Jose.
